Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 I was also told to keep an eye on what wakes me up... external noises, " brain " noise (you know, when you can't turn off the thinking), pain, trip to potty, etc. CARA " GOOD GRIEF " Brain noise? Is that what you call it? On top of the eternal " ringing " in me ears. What about the " VOICES that I hear? " Then there is the full moon thang too.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 " I was also told to keep an eye on what wakes me up... " brain " noise (you know, when you can't turn off the thinking), " that's one I have a lot of. Anything good or bad happening, or just problem solving, can't turn it off. This was also a big problem in college when I wold try to study and couldn't turn it off...finally a psychologist suggested writting the thoughts downonpapaer and this works. Somehow by commiting them to paperyour mind says " OK now I know I can let it go as you will look at the paper later and work on it. " Just a suggestion " trip to potty, " now tha't one I can't seem to solve. I am up all night drinking water (drink a lot in the day too, but seem to be able to " hold it " better then), and as a result lots of potty trips. I have been checked for sugar constantly and do finger checks at home too, and that isn't the problem. We are still working on it. The ENT thinks it may just be part of the Stills with no other explenation.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Another suggestion that has worked well for us recently is to give both Melatonin and Benadryl before bedtime. Melatonin by itself did very little to help Gabe fall asleep and never helped him stay asleep. The same was true for Benadryl by itself, but for whatever reason - giving both simultaneously has worked a little better. Although, he still often wakes at 4AM and is ready to begin his day...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have been seeing a little boy (3 1/2) for approximately 3 months for sensory integration therapy. He has been doing very well but sleep continues to be a problem. Mom states he sleeps for approximately 4 hours and then wakes up, takes him 20 minutes of her comforting him to fall back asleep and then sleeps for another 2 hours and wakes up. She says he moans/talks during the first 4 hours of sleep and has night terrors at times. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
